The outsider shirtCamisa de juera
Dirty underwearCalzón chamagoso
It's Pancho RiveraEs Pancho Rivera

Tire sandalsHuarachis de llanta
With four strapsDe cuatro correas
Drunk to scareBorracho hasta espanta
It's better not to seeMejor ni lo veas

Everyone in the town avoids himTodos en el pueblo le sacan la vuelta
He's very dangerous because of his loose tongueEs muy peligroso por su lengua suelta
He throws garlic and onions wildlyAjos y cebollas avienta a lo loco
Even the kids call him the boogeymanQue hasta los chamacos le dicen el coco

And if there's a wedding, he's the first one thereY si hay una boda él es el primero
Inside the church, with his hat onDentro de la iglesia, con todo y sombrero
And even if he's not invited, he crashes the partyY aunque no lo inviten se cuela al banquete
To drink tequila and mezcal with a kickA tomar tequila y mezcal con piquete

He was never married, never had a girlfriendNunca fue casado ni novia ha tenido
Women say he's a freeloaderDicen las mujeres que es un mantenido
And he doesn't like hard workY que no le gusta el trabajo pesado
He's a specialist in lying downQue es especialista en estar acostado
He says he's friends with important peopleDice que es amigo de gente importante
From governors and beyondDe gobernadores y de ahí pa'adelante
But he never speaks about his feelings for themPero nunca dice por ellos que siente
Because if he does, he'll lose his teethPorque si lo dice le vuelan los dientes

He barely survives eating whatever's availableVive de milagro comiendo lo que haya
Pieces of watermelon, melon, and papayaTrozos de sandía, melón y papaya
They say Don Pancho is happy in his own wayDicen que Don Pancho es feliz a su modo
As long as he can lift his elbowMientras tenga forma de empinar el codo
